Orepukia is a genus of spider in the family Agelenidae. It is composed of 24 species and the type species is O. sorenseni. They are endemic to New Zealand, found primarily (though not exclusively) in the South Island. Orepukia species range in size from 6 to 7.5 millimetres (0.24 to 0.30 in) and are ecribellate. Species are known to inhabit forest floors, and build "formless" webs.[2]
The eye arrangement is two rows of eight eyes each.[2]
